Trauma and PTSD
Movement with Steph
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh
Trauma is more prevalent in our society than we think it is From big "T" trauma to little "t" trauma, they all leave an impact on our sense of self and how we live our lives and interact with others. I work using a variety of approaches that address trauma in one's life and provides a holding space for the pain, suffering, shame, hurt, anger, numbness, etc that trauma can elicit in a person. I work collaboratively with the client and with a compassion-focused approach to help the client gradually unpack their trauma and begin to heal.

Ari Goldberger
Psychologist, Bachelor Of Science (Psychology), Post Graduate Diploma of Psychology, Masters of Psychology (Counselling)
All mental health issues, be it depression, anxiety or personality disorders comes from trauma "stuck" in the subconscious mind, whether one realizes it or not. A somatic approach to therapy is necessary to identify this trauma in the body and look to heal it by transcending the egoic rationalization that is holding the trauma in place. (i.e. fear of being vulnerable, self-pity, victimhood, need acceptance from others, vindication against others etc.)
